This workflow helps craft a compelling demo storyboard for an analyst briefing. It ensures that all functional requirements are showcased while embedding vision themes, differentiation, and corporate messaging into a cohesive business scenario-driven narrative. The result is a demo that is engaging, strategic, and memorable, rather than just a feature walkthrough.

Summary of Steps:

1. Define Inputs – Gather key details: product name, industry, target persona, functional requirements, differentiators, vision theme, corporate messaging, product context, demo length, and business scenario.

2. Identify Business Scenario – Use an existing scenario or suggest one based on industry and persona.

3. Craft the Narrative Arc – Develop a structured story with a challenge, struggle, and resolution that integrates the product.

4. Map Functional Requirements to Story Beats – Ensure all necessary features appear naturally in the story.

5. Highlight Differentiators with Impact Moments – Showcase where the product shines to set it apart from competitors.

6. Refine for Clarity and Engagement – Final polish to ensure the story is clear, compelling, and aligned with messaging.
